A deeply moving narrative that spans five decades, following Abe and Jane's journey through love, art, and family in the vibrant backdrop of New York City. As Jane faces a serious illness, the couple reflects on their shared life - from their romantic beginnings as young lovers in Central Park to their evolution as artists and parents.

Key Themes

A profound exploration of how romantic love transforms over time, from the initial passion of youth to the deep, complex bond forged through shared experiences, challenges, and mutual understanding over fifty years of marriage.
Art vs. Family
The delicate balance between creative pursuits and family obligations, particularly exemplified through Jane's relationship with her son Max, who perceives her artistic career as taking precedence over motherhood, creating lasting emotional reverberations.
Memory and Reconciliation
The power of retrospection and how different perspectives of shared experiences shape relationships, illustrated through Abe's early betrayal and the way both partners process and come to terms with past hurts and decisions.
FAQ's
The city serves as more than just a backdrop - it's a character in itself, reflecting the couple's journey through its various neighborhoods, cultural scenes, and changing landscapes, becoming intrinsically linked to their love story and artistic pursuits.
Art functions as both a source of fulfillment and tension, representing personal ambition and the sacrifices made for creative passion, particularly in Jane's career as an artist and its impact on family dynamics.
